I’m repeating week 5 in an effort to go a bit faster. Today was repeat of day 1, three 5 minute runs with 3 minute walk breaks in between. I ran at 5.3 instead of 5.0 and definitely found it challenging at the faster pace.
I’m ready for the weather to get a little nicer and do some running outdoors instead of on the hampster wheel of the treadmill. After week 7, the C25K program is pretty much “run for X minutes” with gradual increases, so I don’t see as much benefit to watching my pace and timing as I have in the early weeks.
